nbc's michele kosinski is in south africa on the story for us this morning. michele, good morning. give us the latest. >> hi, savannah. oscar pistorius sobbed his body shaking as this ruling was read and you could say in many ways this was expected, but this judge kept everyone guessing. his ruling lasted two hours. he criticized the prosecution, then said that it doesn't mean their case is not strong. then he hit pistorius saying he has problems with his story about what happened that morning. ultimately ruling, though, pistorius is not a flight risk, not a danger to the public. he will be released on bail tonight. >> the accused is not a flight risk. >> reporter: listen to the reaction on audio feed at the moment the ruling on bail was finally read.

>> the accused has made a case to be released on bail. >> yeah! >> reporter: oscar pistorius entered the court with a calm demeanor looking more collected, even confident than we've seen. head forward, eyes closed. prosecutors picked up their argument, again ripping into pistorius' account of what happened the morning reeva steenkamp was killed in which a claim he was screaming, yelling for her to call police about a burglar and her in the bathroom without him knowing it. according to prosecutors she did not say a word. she did not scream. she did nothing. it's so improbable, it's not true. even on his statement he ran back in the bedroom saw reeva wasn't in the bed and realized what happened. i would imagine you'd look everywhere for her, downstairs, where is she. doesn't make sense to think i've shot reeva because she's not in bed. that would come later not immediately. prosecutors wondered why a guy worried about burglars slept with open windows and doors, why

he wasted time to go down to unlock the front door and criticized his attitude of i've done nothing wrong and looking forward to business as usual. tod today's attorney, confidence he will be released from jail, would like to start trending him again monday. though he has no plans to race, he thought training would be the best thing for him. >> to get his mind sort of cleared. the sooner he can start the better. >> reporter: his defense insisted whatever the alleged actions or circumstances may be, there is no evidence that this is murder at all, that pistorius was in a panic that night to save reeva, whose friends watched this hearing, minutes away from a ruling now and remember her. >> she actually sent me a message in the beginning of the month and she said, this month is going to be amazing and change our lives forever. >> reporter: the judge just upped pistorius' bail to 1

million ran, the equivalent of 112,000 u.s. dollars and lots of conditions on this. pistorius has to surrender his passport, firearms, can't use drugs or alcohol, can't return to the crime scene which is his home. he needs permission to leave his town and has to check in with police twice a week. savannah? >> all right. michele kosinski with the breaking news in south africa. let's turn to john cue kelly a defense attorney who's got a lot of experience covering trials. john, good morning to you. >> how are you doing? >> good. let's look at this bail decision in perspective. i mean on the one hand, we saw a judge who really ripped the prosecution's case, aspects of it, called into question aspects of pistorius' story. does the bail decision have any real influence on what will ultimately happen at trial? >> no, it doesn't. it did give us a good look in terms of how the evidence will be received at trial. the judge didn't base his bail decision just on the strength or

weakness of the prosecution's case. it had a lot to do with the community ties involved, propensity to violence, whether witnesses could be in danger, and no prior criminal record and he had to turn in his passport. they don't see him as a flight risk. the judge gave a lot of weight to the fact that pistorius came forward and put his vir version of events in an affidavit right up front. >> are you surprised at the same time to see so much substance in the context of a bail hearing? i mean, this spells at time like a mini trial and do you think that will ultimately affect the outcome of the case, that so much of the evidence has in some ways been previewed. >> both the prosecution gets a look at the defense case and the defense got a very good look at the prosecution case. it's very unusual. last time i think we saw this, the reason it sort of escalates through a worldwide media

frenzy, was the hearing where you gave a substantial airing out of all the evidence weigh before, media frenzy ahead of time. >> you mentioned the simpson case and there are some parallels. for example, you have a lead detective in the pistorius case who has absolutely been called into question in terms of his credibility. one because he's apparently facing murder charges of his own, but two, in terms of how he investigated the case. now he has been removed from the case, but that doesn't mean he won't play a role here, right? the defense can always call him. >> well sure. and he's a fact witness. he was here at the crime scene. he recovered evidence. he interviewed witnesses and, you know, even made determinations in terms of cell phone calls were made or not made and things like that. and you're right, the implication is rogue cop, same thing as we saw with furman in the simpson trial. it's sort of the perimeter issue, not related to the facts

directly but it makes it sexy and interesting. >> well, one thing you definitely know that's different between our country and south africa is the fact that it's going to be a bench trial. the judge will render a decision, not this judge, a different judge. not a jury. doesn't that really change what happens in a case? >> well, it does. i mean you don't have -- you know, with a jury of 12 laymen hearing the fact that the lead investigator had these attempted murder charges, things like that, it would be so compelling with a single trial judge, it won't be. i think where a lot of this is going to play out is on the world stage in the media. you know, they're going to make a lot more of this than will come into play with the trial judge himself. >> and a lot of times we do see when there is a lot of public coverage of a case that influences a jury, remains to be seen whether a judge will be influenced by that kind of thing. john kelly, noted defense attorney, always good to get your perspective. >> thank you. >> thanks, savannah. and now let's go back to willie. >> savannah, thank you.

it is, of course, warm and sunny here in miami, but the middle of the country being bombarded by a massive snowstorm. john yang is live in chicago, not to rub it in, john, but i'm guessing you wish you were here? >> a little bit. actually what i found out i was going to be on the show, i thought i would be with you, willie. anyway, right now here in chicago, the heaviest of the snowfall seems to be over, as this storm, which pummeled the plains, keeps moving east. across the midwest, it's shaping up to be another tough day to get from point a to point b. on the roads. >> oh, this is a terrible day for everybody. >> reporter: take a look at what this minivan does to a traffic light in illinois. getting into the air is no easier, as more flights are canceled and airports struggle to reopen. >> when i first walked in, i saw the line here and i said, this cannot be good. >> reporter: staying on the air is a challenge as staff clears snow out of satellite dishes.

across the region, snow is falling at a furious pace, challenging shovellers. >> trying to keep the sidewalks and everything clear. >> reporter: the storm is leaving behind some impressive snowfall accumulations. 10.5 inches in missouri. 12.5 in alva, oklahoma, and almost a foot and a half in hayes, kansas. in missouri there's a state of emergency. in kansas, state offices closed for all but essential workers. in texas the problem is ice. south of new deal, texas, a seven-car accident shuts down traffic on an interstate highway. you don't have to work or travel. it's a time for fun. >> she's playing all over the place in it, loving it. >> reporter: for this young girl, it's a chance to do something nice for dad. >> i am cleaning up the driveway so that when my dad gets home, he can find his spot and can get in the house for him. >> reporter: right now, at o'hare airport, about 240 canceled flights and delays for

inbound flights, up to 90 minutes. willie? >> john yang, like a lot of people this morning, bundled up in chicago. thanks so much. al is keeping an eye on the storm for us. al, what does it look like. >> it's going to continue to make its way to the east and also cause a lot of flooding down south. take a look, you can see on the radar, that you've got another area of snow still stretching through the great lakes, dropping maybe another one to three inches. also heavy rain, severe weather going on right now, down through the south. so as we look at the amounts we're expecting over the next 24 hours, about one to three, some areas as much as six inches of snow around the great lakes but also down south, from new orleans all the way into the carolinas, anywhere from three, as much as five inches of rain that could cause some flooding. other thing we're worried about, another piece of energy breaks off from the main storm, up the track of this system we could be looking at a decent amount of snow for new england. now, depending on where it sets up, that will determine where the heaviest snow is. right now the european model, which has been pretty good about

all of this, has basically showing about four to six inches of snow from boston, heavier snow to the west of boston. however, the american models are a little bit different. they show much less snow for boston. the heaviest snow makes its way into interior sections of new england, almost no snow for new york city. mostly a rain event from new york city and new jersey all the way down into much of the parts of the delmarva peninsula. we will have to keep watching this and plus there's another system that's going to be coming out of the pacific northwest today that's going to cause more problems for everybody who got hit in kansas, missouri and iowa earlier this week. >> this week is going to be a wild one. >> very active week. like flo rida. >> thanks very much. let's head back to new york for a check of the other top stories and check in with carl. hey, carl. >> good morning. good morning, everyone. a manhunt has intensified after a deadly shoot-out in the heart of the las vegas strip. nbc's miguel al mcguire is there with the latest.

good morning. >> carl, good morning. police are combing through mounds of surveillance tape trying to identify murder suspects. they say this began in a parking area and spilled out on to the street just behind me. mayhem off the vegas strip. a car fully engulfed in flames after a wild shooting. three killed in a scene described by witnesses as something that looked like a hollywood set. >> a few second delay, two or three seconds. then i heard a series of gun shots. >> reporter: police say it all began with a confrontation between a group of men at the aria hotel valet parking area. soon they were on the vegas strip. the suspects in a black range rover, the victims in a gray maserati. police say a man opened fire from the moving suv, hitting the maserati driver, who sped through an intersection, colliding with several cars, including a taxi that burst into flames. two inside the cab killed in the

explosion. the driver of the maserati identified by his family as ken cherry also dead. with the heart of the vegas strip shut down much of thursday, a multi-state, multi-agency manhunt is under way. police say if the suspects ever entered a hotel, it's highly like they were captured on videotape. the manhunt does continue. >> miguel almaguer in las vegas, thanks so much. >> no new trial trial tore drew peterson as a judge sentences him to 38 years in prison for the murder of his third wife. although virtually expressionless throughout the trial he burst into screams before his sentence was read yelling, quote, i did not kill cath rene. the victim's sister shouted back, yes, you did, you liar. the 59-year-old former police officer may still be charged in the disappearance of his fourth wife stacy peterson. >> this year's flu vaccine may

not be very effective as protecting the age group most vulnerable, the elderly. this year's vaccine is only 9% effective in people 65 or older. health officials suggest that everyone over six months get the flu shot because some protection is better than none and those who get vac nated might get the flu but with less severe symptoms. now to wall street, jackie is live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning into good morning, carl. well, the saga continues for boeing's dreamliner. company executives are meeting with the faa today to propose new measures to prevent battery failures in the future. if those proposals are eventually accepted the 787 could be back in the air as soon as april. investors watching for results from the clothing retailers starting today abercrombie & fitch, those results mixed, it's going to give us a sense of how people's feelings over the economy, their worries are potentially impacting their spend. carl?

>> thank you so much. a 45-foot fall caught on tape. this 17-year-old in santa fe was throwing snowballs from his ski lift when he lost his balance, dangling from the chair and then plummeted nearly five stories to the ground. the teen was air lifted off the mountain and taken to a local hospital, but he is doing all right now. glad he's okay. it is 7:15, back to savannah and willie in miami. >> got to put the bar down. >> put the bar down. >> thank you. >> mr. roker, busy time for you. >> it has been. the good news is our friends are getting a little break. but in the pacific northwest, another big storm coming in that's going to cause problems for the midwest late into the middle of next week. show you what we've got going on. in the pacific northwest, heavy rain, mountain snows, puget sound area, could be looking at anywhere from four to six inches of rain. snowfall in the mountains of the cascades, the sawtooth, bitterroot and sierra going to

be looking at anywhere from one to two feet of snow. that, my friends, is a lot of snow. we'll get to your local forecast, but first, this message. 7:17. happy friday morning. good morning. i'm meteorologist christina loren taking a live look at the embarcadero. a beautiful start to the day over san francisco. no fog to report. and our air quality is actually in good to moderate range. open up windows later today when

dotted with cranes, a sign of life after the economic downturn. but who is to say this boom won't also go bust? after all, miami still has one of the highest foreclosure rates in america. >> it's different this time. the investors are smarter. the developers are smarter. and now we're just ready to take off again. >> taking off as more and more people arrive every day to take it in. i don't think we could have picked a more ideal location to do a field trip. beautiful by the way the real estate bubble gone here. down in south beach the properties being bought up, south americans, latin americans buying in cash. >> electricity in this city not like any other in the world. if you come in late last night like i did, it continues well into the night. might be a beach party, techno musing playing. >> were you getting recharged overnight. >> i was. briefly.

it's just off 101. we'll show you on the maps. we'll get you orientated. we'll zoom in. the seaport boulevard off-ramp is open and it's right alongside that east bay shore road. businesses to the south of there if you need to access them, you'll get off on marsh and travel north parallel to 101 because you can't access it from seaport boulevard off-ramp. businesses now starting to open up there so it's closed past that area. south 101 into the same area because of the sunrise slowdown. south bay with northbound route slowing 101 north of 680 and 87 coming into downtown but it's friday and despite disabled vehicles on the shoulder, not a big deal south bay shows 85 with mild slowing coming up toward 17. 880 has been a normal commute off 238 down through hayward and into union city so there's your slower drive heading up to the bay bridge toll plaza no drama but metering lights on and sunlight and haze so what's the day look like and the weekend? >> looking good.

category. >> i'm asking you to trust me. >> reporter: it's an awards show noteworthy this year for as much as who's out as who's in. >> the most notable thing about best director is who's not nominated, katherine bigelow, quentin tarantino and, of course, ben affleck. >> some are near locked. >> daniel day lewis is expected to run away with best actor, which would make him the first to ever win the award three times. and anne hathaway is expected to continue her hot streak by taking home the best supporting actress award. there has never been a category quite as loaded as best supporting actor. >> this is the first time in oscar history that all five nominees in one category are all past oscar winners. >> reporter: for best actress, regardless of who wins, history has already been made. >> the academy made history twice. they nominated the oldest nominee ever, emmanuelle riva, who turns 86 on oscar night, as well as the youngest nominee quvenzhane wallis. best actress nominee of all time, only 9.

goldfish. the question now is how long has it been there and how many others are there in the lake? >> reporter: goldfish are carp that eat almost anything, potentially throwing off the lake's ecosystem and threatening other native fish. how did goldfish get in to lake tahoe? the presumed culprit, people dumping aquariums along the shoreline. >> there are a lot of people that still don't understand that what seems like a minor thing, can add up to a major ecologic and economic consequences. >> reporter: no longer a little fish, the big goldfish are now causing big problems in lake tahoe. for "today," kristen dahlgren, nbc news, los angeles. up next, from big goldfish to a gigantic home here in florida, 90,000 square feet. what the owners are planning to do with it, and much more from the beautiful beach here in miami. right after this. ds, when it ne.
